the long-horned orb-weaver the long
horned orb-weaver is aptly named as it sports some
pretty unusual horns however scientists don’t really
know what the Weaver uses its horns for some
scientists believe that the horns are simply a scare
a tactic to ward off predators but others believe that
there is an adaptive purpose to the horns the purpose
just hasn’t been explored yet the long-horned orb
weaver spider is extremely scarce so not much is
really known about this elusive spider the macro
Kantha argument as it is scientifically called is
very tiny with a curved spine it is native to
Singapore Thailand Sri Lanka and India however
it is vulnerable to extinction because too much
of its habitat has been destroyed
